And here's part 2, we begin to find out what's been going on with the other digidestined like Karen, Lisa, and Abyss around now. By the way, I'm sorry if you think the end is a little abrupt, but this chapter was just becoming far too long, and people need to know this stuff. Fear not, for the next chapter will continue precisely where this one stops, no time in between the two chapters.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lisa was sitting on her bed in her dorm room, staring at a desk drawer, 'I can't believe it... soon as I get out of the Digital World I'm sent to another school, so I basically can't see any of my friends again, or not for awhile at least...' she thought. 'lus I have to keep Yumikibotamon hidden, as well as my D-Arc, plus what're the chances that Danielle and I have to switch each others' schools? This can't be good, especially if there are any digital emergencies, I can't really help,' she thought as well, her gaze still locked on the desk drawer.

Elsewhere in a private collage. A girl with purple hair was walking down the path while wearing a green blazer jacket, a tan vest, a long white collared sleeved shirt, a green skirt, white long socks and brown shoes. Her hair was shorter than it was before but it was very long. She still had the ribbons in her hair and was now wearing glasses on her face. She had a red jewel collar necklace and a black book case on her right hand. She was holding a red flip up cellphone as she was waiting for the bus....she had finally attended collage after the digital event that happen to her in her final days of high school. She had a 4 year scollership and was well know.

Jonas was looking out from the window ledge of the apartment he and his mother lived in. He still couldn't believe in three days, their adventure ended, but also something new started. At least he knew Uryx and Catherine were doing okay. ~I mean... THEY HAD KIDS >.>~ he said in thought. It was weird... after only this short time he already missed Lisa... He pulled out his digivice, and stared down at it for a moment. He slowly pressed the communicator button. almost not realizing he was doing it. "L-Lisa...?" he asked looking down at it, in almost a whisper. In all of his thoughts, he had forgotten they could talk via their digivices.

Lisa heard a beep and immediately unlocked her desk drawer and locked her room door and got her D-Arc, "Yeah?" she asked, slightly nervous, since she didn't want anyone else to notice her D-Arc.

He felt a huge relief swell over him and he sat down on a chair near him. "Hey... It's Jonas." it felt good to hear her voice.

"Oh... hi," she said, looking at her door nervously, she knew the other girls used cell phones, and that her door was locked, but she still couldn't help but feel a sense of nervousness.

Karen slowly called her friends and started to talk as she was now riding the bus towards her apartment. After a few minuets of traveling on the bus, she slowly reached her apartment and got off the bus before walking towards the door. She pulls out the key and then unlocks the door. She soon opens the door and slowly closed the door before heading towards her table. She soon pulls out her labtop and looks at the website...as if she was trying to find some way to get back into the digital world

"Hi..." Jonas answered back. "Just thought if you had the time... maybe we could talk. You doing okay over there? I heard about how you had to change schools... that's... too bad..." even though he was simply talking into a small object, he felt a little nervous.

Jim was leaning against a locker, looking at his cell phone, 'Geez... she's taking way too long,' he thought as he looked around. Meanwhile, Lisa looked surprised, "Wait, how did you hear? Just about no one else has heard so far," she said.

"When I didn't see you at school, I asked a teacher and he said you had to leave for 'ersonal' reasons. I just sort of.. pieced it together..." he told her.

Jex walks down the hall, still reeling from the Meramon's news. A threat to both the real AND Digital worlds? This could be big...but, lost in thought, he bumps into a guy standing near the girl's bathroom. "Oh, sorry...You okay?" Jex asks, still half lost in thought.

Karen soon her the message from her D-Terminal but chose not to answer for the moment as she was trying to figure out how to get back into the digital world

Jim looked at the guy, "Yeah, what about you?" he asked, deciding to make small talk while he waited for Danielle.

"Oh, well umm.. thanks for worrying about me I guess," Lisa said.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Heh...It's kind of a new habit, worrying about people, I'm Jex. What's your name?" Jex replies, only now noticing his sudden ability to worry about total strangers.

Jonas nodded, but realized she couldn't see him. "No problem..." he added. "It feels weird not seeing you every day... we spent so much time together in the Digital World... it's like..." he paused. "I expect to wake up in the middle of the night, out in the wilderness, with the rest of the team around me, including you. It just feels so weird to be back..." he told her.

"Jim," was all he said, as a girl walked out of the bathroom and stood next to him, "Who's this?" the girl asked, "Jex I guess," he told her and she nodded, smiling a bit. Meanwhile, Lisa continued to talk to Jonas, "Yeah, I am used to seeing everyone, and I may not know a lot of people here, but I'll get along," Lisa told him.

"Well," Jex says halfheartedly, "nice to meet you. Now...oh, no! I've really got to be somewhere! Uh...catch you later, Jim!" Jex walks quickly down the hallway. Somewhere in that conversation, the old, nervous Jex took over. Suddenly, he felt the urge to be anywhere but there...

Karen search and search but found nothing again "damn it.....there's have to be something to it for the portal to work like it did the last time" she said as she placed her right index finger on her chin

"Okay... I'm glad. I just wish me and you could see each other again.. just so we can clear things up.. We never got to say good bye..." Jonas told her softly.

"Umm... yeah," Lisa said, "plus I'm not able to see anyone else," she added.

Jonas had an idea. "Hey.. is there a computer near you?" he asked her.

"I have a laptop, but that's it. Why?" Lisa asked.

"We should go to the digital world! I'll go from the computer at my school... and you go from your lap top. We can meet there and talk, in person. Like we used to, when we used the computer lab to go to the digital world. I mean.. our digivices should still work." Jonas said.

"Not sure, it could be a little trouble if I got caught, well, a lot. Plus it's even easier for you to get caught," Lisa told him.

He almost laughed. "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. And you can go in through your room, since it's your lap top. I know it's risky..." Jonas paused. "But I know it'll be worth it..."

"Yeah, but how do you know we can even get there anyways? The portal to the Digital World could be closed for all we know..." Lisa said.

Jonas was surprised this was broughten up. "Oh... That's an easy one..." he started. "I know it'll open... because i went to the digital world yesterday..." he told her.

"wait.....what if I do this" she said as she starts to press the buttons on the digivice as she soon finds a code in it. She slowly starts writing the code down onto the laptop and the screen starts to shine brightly as it was reacting towards the code. Soon a rainbow light starts to surround her D-terminal and soon... The digital gate was open

"O-Ok, well we might as well go..." Lisa said, somewhat nervously.

"Hey.. don't you worry about it. Just grab YumikiBotamon, and use your laptop. I'll enter as soon as I can. Then we can find eachother using the digivices." and with that, he ran out of his house, Leormon following close behind.

Lisa nodded and got out her laptop, she opened it up and after ten or so minutes managed to get the Digital Gate open, "Well now I can get in," Lisa said as she grabbed Yumikibotamon from under her desk, made sure her room door was locked, and went into the Digital World.

Karen's eyes widden by what just happen but she slowly starts to smile "yes...it work...now..to make sure that if somehow the gate was closed...i could get back home" she said as she starts typing in another code from her D-Terminal and hits the enter button as a small digi code was surronding the gate. "there....now if the same thing happen again...this time i'll be ready for it" she said as she jumps into the digital world

Jonas arrived in the computure room about 15 minutes later, and he turned on a computer. He pointed his digivice at it and said, "Digi-Port, open!" a beam of light shot out of the computer, and he and Leormon were sucked inside of the monitor.

Lisa was wandering around the Digital World, looking for anything, a restaurant, or some place she could eat, though she would prefer a restaurant if anything, "I can't really find anything..." Lisa said as she got out her D-Arc and looking at it, noticing a strange pattern on her tracker, and went to find whatever it was.

Jonas looked down at his digivice, and after a moment saw Lisa on his tracker. "Let's go Leormon!" he said, smiling at his partner. The two began running towards Lisa, who was luckily not far off.

Uryx and Uryxia dismounted from Wingdramon and walked into their house. Uryxia still had no idea what was going on and Uryx still wanted to catch up with his old friend, Squall.

Lisa saw a house, "A house out in the Digital World? In such an unexpected area? Well, might as well go to it, see who lives there and stuff," Lisa said as she walked over to the house and knocked on the door, waiting paitently for whoever was in there to open the door.

Jonas came to a clearing, and not far away saw Lisa standing in front of a house. He ran down and called, "Lisa!" he waved to her at the same time.

Karen slowly appered from the sky and landed in a clearing in the forest. She was wearing a much longer red blazer with a black dress and purple and black stockings. "it's good to be back..i missed this place" she said as she starts to walk down the path until she sees lisa and a house. "lisa...jonas" said karen as she was atop of a hill

Lisa looked behind her and waved to Jonas, though she said nothing.

Catherine glanced down at her Digivice, prefering to put up tack and saddle in the back before following Uryx, Uryxia, and Kitty inside. Holding a psychic conversation with Wingdramon was taking all of her attention, and thus not noting any noise that might come from the front of the house. Kitty, meanwhile, was walking right beside Uryx, the father that she always idolized - despite annoying displays of modesty.

Lisa tapped her foot waiting for a response, then knocked on the door again, this time a little louder, "I hope whoever lives here comes soon," Lisa said.

Jonas grinned, and ran down to her. "Hey!" he said, crossing his arms. Leormon happily ran up and nuzzeled the side of her leg affectionately. Jonas turned and saw Karen. He waved to her as well.

Karen slowly waved to jonas as she walks down the path and soon reaches the others " it's been a while since we went our seperate ways"

Uryx hears the door, "ugh... I hope that's not Jack about me missing work today..." He walks over and opens it to find many of his other old comrades standing there, he didn't notice that they were only three days older than the last time he'd seen them because of his poor vision, but he knew it was them. "GUYS!!! You've finally come back! What've you been up to for the past 16 years?" Uryxia was sitting by the window, thinking.

Lisa smiled to Jonas, "Hey," she said and then looked over to who opened the door, "Umm... hi?" Lisa asked, not knowing who it was.

Karen slowly step back by what just happen "err....who are you....and how do you know.....is that you uryx" said karen as she tries to look at him closly " it is you" she said as she jumps to hug him which would surpise anyone since karen would never do that

Kitty sat beside her sister, somewhat nervously. "I think dad's off his rocker again," she whispers to her sister, glancing towards their father with concern - it was one of the few things that worried her enough to snap out of her silliness. Catherine, meanwhile, lifted her Digivice, worn, old, dented, and now off-white, and leaned against the back of the house. -I'll have to make a few calls,- she concluded to herself, before entering through the backdoor and walking into the entryway, not noticing Karen, Lisa, and Jonas all standing there. She pulled the flight goggles up onto her forehead and removed her leather riding gloves, dropping them on the table before looking up in shock. Instead of greeting them, she promptly retreated to the cellar. "Mom, too," Kitty whispered to Uryxia at that.

Jonas smiled to Uryx, already knowing he had grown from the day before. "Hey man good to see you... You look.." he tried to find the right word. "Sophisticated. ._." he told him.

"Wow Uryx, you look older... and this is what you've been doing for the past... three and a half days..." Lisa said.

Uryx backsteps away from Karen's hug, "Whoa! I'm happy to see you too, but I have a wife now! And what about you, wouldn't you be married by now yourself?" Uryx exclaims, still very touched by the display. Uryxia looks to Kitty, "These are obviously their affairs, I'm staying out of it until things make sense again..." then she returns to thinking, this not knowing what's going on was bugging her.

Kitty shrugs her shoulders helplessly, then hunches them and leans forward where she sits. -I'll try to be like her and be quiet,- she figures, and then lets her mind wander to Dave. Dave was the shit, no doubt about it.

Jonas scratched his head. "Maybe you don't understand Uryx... You might have aged.... but we didn't. We've been in the real world since the final battle."

"I think we're still a little too young to be married," Lisa told him.

Karen slowly got back from him "wife....wait..i'm thinking that i got this down" she said as she slowly got up from the ground and push up her glasses "to us..it's been 3 and a half days but in the digital world...it's been 16 years...." said karen as she waves her index finger

-So the others have made it here, too- thought Squall upon seeing the others at the door.

Catherine steps out of the cellar, catsuit exchanged for simple, blue pleated dress. "Jonas, Karen," she says, quietly, before looking at the last new arrival. "Lisa," she says, somewhat guardedly. "Good to see you all again. Uryx, they don't look a day older than when we last saw them!"

"Yeah, we aren't," Lisa said.

"Really? hmm... that would make sense... so wait, it's only been three days for you? How is that possible?" Uryx asks then thinks, "Well, what're we all standing around out here for? Come in, come in. Catherine! We have guests! Oh, I guess you already know..." he just noticed she had been standing there, and then he stands aside and lets the others enter.

"um actually...i'm 18 years old now..and i graduated early from high school and in collage now..." she said as she sweatdrops but then turns to uryx " i think that it's possible since the digital world is on the internet and nearly everything on the internet moves at a much higher speed then our world so it would explan the time line"

Catherine flashes her near-sightless husband a brief grin, her neat white teeth showing for a second before she turned around and paced into the kitchen. "What would everyone like to eat?" She calls. "Sandwiches? That's usually Uryx's specialty, but I reckon I can manage."

Lisa's eyes went wide, "That sounds great!" Lisa said happily as she walked in after everyone else.

Jonas nodded in agreement. "Deffinately. Thanks for the hospitality..." he said, walking in.

"Looks like company..." Uryxia says, seeing all the teens around her and Kitty's age entering, "Where did mom and dad see these guys at? They almost never go out, at least no farther than Lilymoon, and there's no humans there..." Uryxia returned to thinking as Uryx took his place in his favorite chair, making himself comfortable.

"Alright...What would everyone like?" Catherine continues to call as she opens the thing that -passes-, rather -poorly-, for a fridge. "We've got synthetic cheese, although Wingdramon can bring real meat if anyone wants it. Although you may end up eating something with a face still on it. Beyond that, just say what you'd like."

"that would be nice..thank you" she said before bowing and then turning to kitty and uryxia "are these two your children" she said as she points at them

"Anything is fine..." jonas told Catherine. He saw their daughters and said, "Hi again.. remember me from yesterday?" he asked the two.

"Synthetic cheese? Meat with a face? I think I'll settle with a cheese sandwich," Lisa told them before turning to the two kids and waving to them happily.

Kitty nods her head slowly, then looks awful offended as she's pointed at. She bites her tongue, literally, and says something that sounds like, "Ovtgh courghth wyre thergh kidghz," unable to stop herself. She then looks at Jonas with mild alarm.

"Grilled or not?" Catherine calls from the kitchen, leaning to glare at Karen from the hallway. "I'll see what I've got in the fridge for you, Karen." Wingdramon psychically sniggers at her tone, recognizing the deeply veiled threat.

Leormon, clearly recognizing Uryx, grinned and hopped up on his lap. He couldn't see a difference between how he was now, and 16 years before. "I'll have a grilled please!" Jonas called happily.

"Grilled please," Lisa said before turning to the kids, "Hi, I'm Lisa," she told them.

Uryxia sees them, not really liking the look of any of them, she recognizes Jonas, though she didn't know his name. She doesn't reply and just turns back to the window to think some more, -This makes SO little sense...- Uryx says, "yes they are, though they're normally more polite around friends, AREN'T YOU?" he asks his daughters in the kind of voice you'd expect a father to use in that situation.

"a meat sandwitch plz" she said before sweatdroping catherine still has her deadly stare of death.......

"We're being perfectly polite!" Kitty complains. "It's not every day you get to meet superheroes! Besides, they should be used to this kind of treatment!" Unable to stop herself, she addresses Karen with interest. "Can you fly? Daddy can't."

"...on second thought....i'll just watch you guys eat " said karen as she laughed sightly trying not to make the situation worse

Catherine whistles to herself as she starts slicing cheese and buttering bread. Eventually, she returns with a plate of sandwiches, handing out one to every individual there. When she gets to Karen, she gives her something that, should Karen look, there'd be a face. "Too late," she says with a shake of her head. "You're too late. You're going to have to eat that, Karen. Food goes to waste far too easily here. So enjoy." She grins wickedly before taking a seat beside Uryx, crossing her booted, skirted legs, and lightly taking one of his hands in hers.

Uryxia hears her father's tone and faces the company, though her listless expression doesn't change, "Hello, I'm Uryxia Randal, I see you obviously already know my parents somehow, and I'm kind of curious just how two adults would know so many people around our age." Uryxia wanted answers and they weren't going to come out of her own head. Uryx gives Uryxia a warning look that says 'would it kill you to smile?'

Karen slowly looks at the sandwitch and saw the face before having two more sweatdrops on her face. chances are that this is posion or it will taste awful...75% She slowly takes a deep breath and starts to eat the sandwitch. As soon as she finshes...her facial color turned pale and she slowly lays on the ground shaken in fear and sickness

Lisa took the sandwich from Catherine, "Thanks Catherine, it looks great," Lisa told her as she looked at one of the daughters, the one that talked, "Nice to meet you Uryxia," Lisa said to her.

Kitty grumbled to herself, grumbling unhappily, "I'm Kitty, and I do....stuff." Catherine doesn't roll her eyes at either of her daughters, but instead merely strokes Uryx's hand, which she still holds. She smiles blandly at Lisa as she's thanked, and then resumes tame housewife mode.

Karen slowly crawls herself towards the bathroom and starts to puke ...i think that i either saw..my soul...a shimigami...or the devil...either way...i have seen true suffering

Uryxia doesn't smile, she just looks at the other's carefully, not moving, the air was growing increasingly more uncomfortable, -Why didn't they answer my question? hmm...- Uryx then says to the two, "It seems like the two time streams move differently between the two worlds," he remembers what Karen had said as she was walking in, "These really are my friends who saved the digital world a decade and a half ago. Speaking of which," and Uryx pulls the rough draft of his book titled "Digital Chaos," and hands it to anyone to take a look at, "I've written about it in this rough draft of a book, I just finished it earlier this same day." Although Uryx seemed happy and trusting of these strangers which he simply accepted were his suspiciously unaged friends from so long ago, Uryxia wasn't. "Well, that explains a few things, MAYBE." Uryxia replies to Uryx, "but how come when we went to the real world for a while, we didn't come back to see another year had gone by?"

Catherine speaks up, then, turning her head to look directly at Uryxia. "Perhaps something's messing with the timestream, Uryxia. It's strange that the portals would open up in Uryx's and my lifetime." Her tone is relatively level, although careful. "I frankly wasn't expecting to see any of you again. Dracomon had explained the time differentiation to me ages ago." She glances away, her expression becoming distant as she considers, tapping one finger against her temple. "Maybe we're just special," Kitty suggests to Uryxia. "Maybe that's our superpower." She's not expecting her twin to give an answer, though, if she did, that'd be AWESOME!

"there's a perfectly logical explanation to why that the time stream here works differently then the human world and keeps on changing...but...I can't solve it right now because i got other things to turn to" she said before throwing up in the toilet.. -i think my lungs exploded...-

Uryx thought about this for a while, Uryxia was right, as she usually tended to be, they left earlier that day and returned not days later but the same day they had left. Knowing Kitty, they wouldn't have only stayed for a minute, she would've insisted upon seeing EVERYTHING, Uryxia too, though she wouldn't have shown it, for that matter. "Maybe it was the portals..." he suggests, "Maybe when they're open, the timelines are forced to line up again. The two worlds have been separated for the past 16 years for me, and when they opened again, time moved at the same pace?" Uryx's suggestion was far more logical than Kitty's, so Uryxia figured he may have been right, -They don't SEEM to be after anything, we should just watch them for now. Maybe they are who they seem.-

'That must mean I'm out for a large portion of it...' Lisa thought as she looked at it, then passed it over. "So how's life been going for the two- I mean four of you?" Lisa asked.

"Maybe," Catherine responds to Uryx somewhat darkly. "But even if that is or isn't the case, we need to consider why the portals would be opening up. The Digital World doesn't just open portals for fun." Kitty, upon seeing her suggestion shot down by overwhelming veto of it, leans against her sister and grumbles to herself.

Through all of this, Jonas remained silent. He had taken a sandwhich, and was silently nibbling it. He ripped off a bit of it, and gave it to Leormon, who happily ate it.

Lisa rolled her eyes slightly, 'And when I try to start lighter conversation, poof,' she thought.

Karen soon finished throwing up what was left in her stomach and slowly crawls back to where the others were at but her face was still pale. "can i have a glass of lemonade...."

Uryx thought, Uryxia watched warily, and Uryx said, "Catherine's right... portals DON'T just open... something must be going on, but I haven't SEEN anything strange, have any of you?"

"Nope, then again, I've been stuck in the real world," Lisa said.

"Well..." Jonas started. "Lisa wasn't around when it happened... But in the real world, three Meramon bio-emerged and warned us of a coming danger... They didn't explain anything else but..." he paused. "Something's up.. I know it..."

At this new information, Catherine purses her lips and abruptly stands, moving across the room and into the kitchen. "I forgot something in the cellar," she says, blandly, as she pulls the trapdoor open and descends, closing it shut after her. -Bioemerging digimon?- She thinks as she flips her trusty rusty Digivice out, pressing a few buttons to open a private comm channel. -There goes the retirement,- she thinks as a face flashes on the screen. "Commander?" It asks her simply as she paces to the far end of the cellar, glaring down at the digivice. "Captain," she greets it. "You and I have much to discuss..."

-Something's up...- Uryx knew the feeling, he got the feeling that someone was missing from this little party, "Hold on, where's Jex?" he inquired, realizing who was absent. Uryxia didn't move, she didn't even seem to blink as she watched the strangers that may not have been who they seemed to be, Uryxia was no fool, her father may have been willing to trust them instantly, but she wasn't.

"guys....should i head towards the white light or away from it" she said as she was seeing a bright white light that no one could see since she was still messed up from eating the sandwich

"Jex... I haven't seen him, of course I haven't seen aynone," Lisa said quietly, unsure if anyone would hear.

Kitty, meanwhile, watches from her seat behind her sister. -Wasn't Jex the one who...killed a dragon and then brought it back from the dead and then they all went and had a picnic?- She wonders to herself. -I'll really have to read Dad's book. I never thought this history would catch up to us! Ancient stuff!-

Jex, back in the real world, was getting a tad desperate. He knows nothing of the goings-on in the Digital World.... He picks up his Digivice and begins to flip through it's functions. Digimon Stats... General Communicator... Digimon Detector... What's this? Direct Communicator? And it had channels? Scrolling down the list of contacts, he see's Uryx's name. He selects it, and speaks shakily into the device. "Uryx? Are you there?" he says, hoping that maybe through one of the recent portals, the signal will reach.

Uryx hears Jex's voice through the old digivice he still kept with him, -speak of the devil...- he got it out and responded, "Jex, many of the old team is here at my house, where are you?"

Uryxia was watching the dying one with interest, though she didn't show the interest on her face, nor did she say anything.

"Well, hopefully one of the others has informed you of the three Meramon messangers. They said both worlds were in danger, so I opted to stay here in case of an attack. I'm just outside of the school, actually... Has anything odd been happening over there?" Jex inquires. He hardly notices Uryx's voice has gotten... more experienced is the best way to say it.

"Urrie," Kitty whispers to her sister. "I think she's puking up her -life-. That's -nasty-." She points at Karen as she whispers this. She then adds, "Sucks to be her."

"No, but we're not exactly close to anywhere that would be the target of attack, to tell the truth I was hoping to avoid adventures for the rest of my days..." Uryx sighs. "Then I'll take care of it this time, dad, it's not like you can even fight anymore anyway without your spirits," Uryxia finally says something meaningful, though she does it in the same bored tone as always, "And you, the dying one, are you gonna be alright?"

Karen slowly turns to the others and gets up slowly while wiping her mouth. " ..i'll be fine...i think...but what doesn't kill you only make you stronger....was the room always purple" she said as she tries to shake the pain off from her body

Lisa looked around, 'I don't think it'd be him... he couldn't be apart of this "danger" that these Meramon spoke of... yet Ifeel so sure of it...' Lisa thought.

Kitty ooooohs as her sister sticks it to her dad. "Yeah, I don't think you and mom will be going anywhere!" She says, very happily at the concept of her and her sister enjoying adventures fo' LIFE. Catherine paces into the room from the kitchen, giving her daughters a crippling look, and then looking at Karen. "The meet was about a week old," she says, somewhat cheerfully. "Partially rotted. I don't waste food, see?" She grins, briefly, before looking directly at Uryx. "I'll be going to Lilymoon. Is there anything I can pick up for you?"

Squall was sitting in the room with the others, next to Griever, and had been listening to the conversation.

Karen slowly gave catherine the death look -....one of these days...i'm going to pay you back in spades for what you put me through- " should have known....for the love god don't let it be food posion" she said as she placed her hand on her head

Uryx blinks at his wife, "now?" he inquires, "what about everything going on here?" Uryxia imagines her going on the types of adventures that had made her all misty eyed as a younger girl, she always figured she'd get her own adventures someday and was sort of looking forward to this.

"Um...Who was that? That other voice? Reminds me of Catherine... Well, anyway, I'm glad to hear you're alright. Just be on the lookout, and try to contact me if you find out anything about these attacks." Jex is relieved to hear that everything is alright for the time being in the Digital World. "Well...take care, Uryx. And tell Catherine I said hi." Jex cuts the Digivice off and sticks it back in his shirt pocket. He contemplates what the Meramon said...Danger... Unkown assailant... the words kept playing back through his head. Jex makes his way home. He unbuttons his shirt and tosses it to the side, straightens out his t-shirt, and takes a look in the mirror. There, he notices something he hadn't before. He had more noticable muscle structure; not drasticly more noticable, but definatly there. Perhaps a side effect of Biomerging is taking on a few of the characteristics of the combined result. Oh well, he thinks as he lays down on his bed and thinks a few pointless thoughts.

"Probably is," Catherine responds to Karen with a small smile and turn of her head, before shaking her head at Lisa. "It's just an errand run," she says, quietly. Betrayer! "Besides, you're needed here - what Uryxia said was right. Uryx and I won't be going on any adventures." Her blue-green gaze turns back to Uryx as she slowly nods her head to him. "Yeah. Now. We'll have to gather supplies for everyone. Makes no sense on all of us going, and I don't usually do anything, anyway." Her tone sounds somewhat perplexed as she says that, but she doesn't elaborate. Kitty, meanwhile, is thinking about how awesome everything is. Although these new folks, she thinks as she scrunches up her face, can go shove it. She and her sister can handle anything!

Lisa sighed, "All right..." she said as she stayed where she was.

I'll catch up with you guys later...i have to go back to the human world and take another collage test" she said gruanting before pressing the blue button on her D-Terminal and a small portal to the human world apperd. "bye for now" she said as she jumps into the portal -evil witch-

Jonas walked over to Lisa, and asked her quietly. "You okay? You seem sort of... out of it."

Abyss had been taking stock of the supplies in his headquarters, the MOSES. It seemed to him that they were low on everything, and thus, got Bravo Company together, for a resupply at Lilymoon, since they were still hovering above the outskirts of the town. he told them to take the fighters and empty the cargo bays of said fighters so that they could fit as much in as possible. Of course, since the dark master had fallen, all kinds of jobs popped up, since many more evil digimon had taken it upon themselves to try to take his place... many had fallen to Abyss and his new group "Bravo Company," and the cash had payed out not soon after. Four fighters launched from the bays, and flew to the surface, briefly glinting, classic style, against teh background as they soared out of sight of the MOSES.

Lisa looked over to Jonas, "Yeah," Lisa told him.

He nodded. "Guess we need to save the world... One more time." he said, as if it was totally normal.

Uryx lets out a sigh of relief that a third adventure wasn't being thrust upon him, -Why not?- Ryu inquires, -You really shouldn't be so modest, y'know, you did save this world after all,- -Well now someone else can handle it,- Uryx replies, in too good a mood to listen to Ryu anyway, -I just wanna sit at home and be lazy,- "Good idea, Cat, get whatever you feel would be appropriate for this adventure. I'll go too, y'know, if you think you may need a hand." Uryxia admires her sister's enthusiasm and doesn't doubt it either, they had been told many times the true power that came from their two spirits combined -Amaterasumon...-

A voice Jex both treasures and loaths drifts up the stairs. His mother. Jex gets up at her commnds and thows his shirt back on over his tee, quickly getting himself outside. "'Jex, could you get some milk and eggs?' Pfft. Fine, whatever." he says to himself out loud as he made his way down the street.

"Another adventure?" Lisa asked.

"No, it's fine," Catherine says as she leans over to kiss Uryx on the cheek. "I'll be back soon." She opens the front door and leaves, delicately closing it behind her, and then stepping into the cool evening air. She's already unbuttoning her dress to the catsuit underneath, discarding it in one of the barrels as she swings up to mount Wingdramon, without a saddle. ~We're not going to Lilymoon, are we?~ Wingdramon asks with no amusement. She shakes her head, and starts to rattle off a list of co-ordinates, him taking off directly after the first one was listed. Kitty, like her sister, is thinking to the spirit that was supposedly their parents combined. Endless awesomeness, she reflects. There's nothing cooler than infinate, uncorrupting power - they were, afterall, the children of their father.

Jonas nodded to Lisa. "but don't worry... We can handle it. As long as we all work together." he told her.

Danielle was walking and bumped into the guy (a.k.a. Jex) that she saw for a bit earlier, "Oh, sorry," she said.

Lisa nodded, "Yeah, hopefully," Lisa said, "Depending on the enemy," she added.

He shrugged. "I'm not worried. We can take on any enemy." Jonas told her, trying to reassure her.

"It's okay...hey, wait, you were at school earlier, with, uh.....Jim? was it? I believe he told you my name is Jex. What's yours?" Jex asks, a tad stunned at the seeing this girl again.

"Danielle," she said, "So what're you doing?" Danielle asked.

"Well, I was going to pick up some stuff for my mother..." Jex says, turning his gaze towards a nearby signpost as to avoid any signs of interest in the onversation, while trying not to seem rude at the same time.

"OH! If you guys are going on another adventure!" Uryx says, getting up, "I want you to do me a favor!" He runs to a different room then comes back with a sizable stack of blank papers, "You think you could keep journals about it? There's no better story than the story of us, so I'm gonna try to publish it, I would really appreciate it, I've had to write about our first adventure from memory, but I won't be around this time." If Uryxia is embarrassed by her father, she certainly doesn't show it.

"Oh, ok," Danielle said, unsure of what else to say.

Jonas nodded, and happily took the papers. "Be happy to Uryx..." He looked down at the pages. "Hopefully we'll be able to fill them all."

Kitty rolls her eyes, "Ughhhh, Dad, that's so geeky." She sounds somewhat pained. "I'm not keeping a journal."

Abyss signaled to his team-mates that he was going on ahead to visit someone, and told tehm to buy what they needed, and only waht they needed, then set off in his Guilfighter, towards the Silicone Grasslands.

Squall takes a section of the stacked papers. "No problem." He, with Griever, get up to leave the house through the backdoor. -I wonder what we'll do this time...I guess we'll go see the Angemon. He did send those digimon afterall.-

Uryx just smiles, "Also, could you guys look through that rough draft I wrote up? It kind of lacks the point of view of everyone other than myself..." he asks, motioning toward the rough draft titled "Digital Chaos" he had finished writing that day.

Suddenly, Jex once again gets a feeling of dread..like he should be somewhere else. "Well, uh....I'll be seein' you around, then...... Later" Jex says a tad hastily as he walks off.

Jonas neatly placed the rest of the papers in his backpack. "Okay, there we go ^^" he said happily.

Suddenly a sound can be heard outside of Catherine and Uryx's house, like the sound of a jet engine powering down. Some dust has been kicked into the air, and amidst that was a strange looking craft of fighter descent.

Uryx hears the fighter landing outside and asks, "What's that?" Uryxia is curious as well, but her father is the one closer to the door so he is able to open it and look outside first.

Squall, already outside, watches the craft lower cautiously.

Jonas followed their gaze, and stared at the strange vehicle.

The sound of a cockpit depressurizing can be heard. Steam rises from it, and obscures teh figure that climbs out, but it slides more than climbs, and is soon lost in the dust and steam.

From behind the group, the shadow appeared and slowly began to manifest itself, into a familiar wolfish-dragon form, as it did so, it began to slowly creep towards Uryx, and...

the creature, whispered "Boo" on the creepiest fashion ever beheld by human kind.

Uryxia, who's senses are far more keen than her father's, notices the shadow sneaking up from behind and gets between it and Uryx, "Abyss, I presume?" she says, remembering her father mentioning him in his stories.

Abyss stopped mid-scare and turned around, "Indubitably, and you are?" he asked calmly.

Uryx is still startled, even though his daughter caught Abyss, "GAH!" he turns around and sees Abyss there, "Good to see you again! That demon still giving you trouble?" Uryxia looks between her odd dad, and this draconic wolf, "I'm Uryxia." she says to him.

Kitty, meanwhile, had fallen asleep in one of the chairs, utterly missing Abyss' arrival. She was out like a light, her 'boundless' energy having been spent.

Squall calmed after learning that this newcomer was, indeed, Abyss. -I'm glad to see he's been well off, too.-

"Uryx, I see that you are as jumpy as ever," He laughed (Still creepy, his laugh.) , "Nah, just poking at you. But it is good to see you as well, been a while eh?" he looked a around, "The demon has given me no trouble as of late... it's becoming more of an asset now... I can call upon it, with some damage to myself in times of need, then put it away." he sniffed the air, "I see no one invited me to the birthdays of your daughters. I hadn't known they were yours until I smelled them. Where is the other one perchance?" He had almost completely ignored Uryxia, not on purpose, but out of joy for seeing an old friend.
